Roundtable 2: Never a Better Time to Start: Preparing for Disasters Now



"Join your colleagues for this roundtable to discuss institutional emergency planning. We’ll discuss risk assessment and mitigation, preparedness and training, response, and recovery. Key lessons from Hurricane Sandy disaster recovery efforts will be included. Becky Fifield, leader for collections emergency activities at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Chair of Alliance for Response NYC, will start and guide the conversation. Topics to explore: getting institutional buy-in, preparedness decision-making, collections risk assessment, establishment of plans and response teams, incident command system, business continuity,  health and safety, priority setting, and community outreach and resources."



Join us for a roundtable discussion. The roundtables have no formal presenters. They are designed to provide time for fuller discussion, to allow attendees more input as to the direction the discussion will take, and time to share experiences with other attendees.
